255: Chapter 255 The Fall

"Pshhh~"

A soft green light surged out from the blind box.

Carrying a dense aura of life, the light instantly enveloped the veteran.

Under everyone's shocked gazes, the wound at the veteran's severed arm began to writhe frantically.

Flesh, bone, nerves, skin...

Growing and reorganizing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In just ten short seconds.

A complete arm reappeared on the veteran's shoulder!

"My... my hand..."

Looking at his newly grown arm, tears welled up and spilled from the veteran's eyes.

He tried moving his fingers, clenching his fist, and swinging his arm.

Every movement was smooth and natural, as if he had never lost the arm.

"Regeneration Potion... it really is a Regeneration Potion..."

Chen Feng muttered to himself, his worldview suffering a massive shock.

He had seen the Regeneration Potions issued by the Logistics Department; those things needed to be used with a professional medical pod, and their effects were definitely not this exaggerated!

What came out of this blind box was definitely a top-tier item of A-rank or higher!

"Sir! I want to buy! I want to buy a blind box!"

"Me too! I'll buy it regardless of the price!"

"Sir, save one for me! I'm going to get my money right now!"

The square instantly erupted into a frenzy.

All the wounded rushed toward the stall like crazy, the fire of hope burning in their eyes.

Even severed limbs could be regrown!

What about other injuries?

What about near-fatal wounds?

If they pulled an amulet, could they survive a few minutes longer on the battlefield?

If they pulled an explosive Medicinal Pill, could they counter-kill those damned aliens?

Chen Feng looked at the chaotic scene, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

He had to admit that Lin Fan's move had indeed struck a chord deep within every soldier's heart.

On the battlefield, nothing was more important than staying alive.

If there was, it was living with dignity and hope.

"Everyone line up! One by one!"

Hou San shouted at the top of his lungs to maintain order, his face beaming with joy.

Tie Niu pulled several more large boxes from a Storage Pouch, clattering them down onto the counter.

The lids opened, revealing piles of the same dark-gold blind boxes packed closely together inside.

Dense Spiritual Qi erupted once more, enveloping the entire square in a misty halo of light.

Lin Fan stood behind the stall, adjusted his glasses, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Business had begun.

However, just at that moment!

"Wooo~ Wooo~ Wooo~"

A shrill alarm suddenly sounded from the direction of the defense line.

The sound was sharp and piercing, penetrating the roar of artillery and causing everyone's hearts to sink.

Chen Feng's expression changed drastically as he abruptly turned to look at the defense line.

A blood-covered messenger scrambled into the square, roaring hoarsely:

"Report! The Second Defense Sector has fallen! Alien heavy infantry have breached the city wall!"

"The Suicide Squad requests to deploy! Requesting deployment!"

The square instantly fell into a deathly silence.

The hope on all the soldiers' faces froze into despair at this moment.

Suicide Squad.

In the Seventh War Zone, these words meant a one-way suicide charge.

It was the last resort, using human lives to plug the gaps in the defense line.

Chen Feng's fists clenched tightly, his nails digging into his flesh.

He glanced at the blind boxes on Lin Fan's stall, then at the soldiers whose eyes had just reignited with hope.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Authorize the Suicide Squad's deployment!"

"Tell them... kill as many as possible."

The messenger saluted with bloodshot eyes and turned to rush back to the defense line.

"Wait."

Lin Fan suddenly spoke up.

He walked to the front of the stall and picked up an entire box of blind boxes.

The box was half a person's height and contained at least fifty dark-gold blind boxes.

"Bring this to the Suicide Squad."

Lin Fan kicked the box to the messenger's feet, his tone calm.

"Tell them, the moment they charge out of the city wall, crush the blind boxes."

"Whether they survive or not depends on their own luck."

The messenger was stunned.

Chen Feng was also stunned.

The Suicide Squad always deployed with the determination to die.

Bring blind boxes?

What use would that be?

But seeing Lin Fan's calm eyes, the messenger finally gritted his teeth and picked up the box.

"Yes, sir!"

He turned and rushed toward the defense line, his figure gradually blurring in the smoke.

Lin Fan adjusted his glasses and looked toward the defense line.

The S-rank True Sight Eye pierced through layers of smoke, seeing the Suicide Squad that had already finished assembling at the breach in the city wall.

One hundred people.

The youngest was only eighteen years old.

The oldest was in his fifties, missing a leg, with his combat saber bandaged to his stump.

They silently checked their equipment, stuffing the last piece of compressed biscuit into their mouths.

No one spoke.

Because what needed to be said had already been said when they wrote their suicide notes.

The messenger rushed before them with the box and hoarsely conveyed Lin Fan's words.

The captain of the Suicide Squad, a middle-aged man with burn scars on his face, glanced at the blind boxes in the box.

He was silent for two seconds, then grinned.

"Brothers, did you hear that? The military headquarters has given us some benefits."

"One for each person, hold them tight."

"Crush them as soon as you charge out of the city wall. Whether we live or not depends on fate."

The Suicide Squad members stepped forward silently, each taking a blind box from the box.

They tucked the blind boxes into their chests, pressing them against the spot closest to their hearts.

Then, they tightened their grip on their combat sabers once more.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded from the breach in the city wall.

The sinister laughter of the aliens was already close at hand.

The Suicide Squad captain took a deep breath and raised his combat saber.

"Seventh War Zone, Third Defense Sector Suicide Squad!"

"Charge!"

One hundred figures, like moths to a flame, charged into that smoke of death without looking back.

Lin Fan stood in the square, adjusting his glasses.

His Eye of True Sight locked onto the positions of those hundred blind boxes.

Business had already begun.

Now, it was time to inspect the effects of the first batch of products.

The moment the Suicide Squad charged out of the city wall breach, the aliens' sinister laughter turned into astonishment.

They had originally expected to see a group of desperate human soldiers being crushed into meat paste under the heavy infantry, as usual.

But this time, the situation was a bit different.

That hundred human soldiers in the moment they charged out of the wall, they almost simultaneously pulled out a dark-gold box from their chests.

Then, they crushed them.

"Crack!"

One hundred crisp cracking sounds were barely audible amidst the deafening artillery fire.

But what happened the next second caused the entire battlefield to fall silent.

Dazzling light erupted from those hundred shattered blind boxes.

It wasn't ordinary light, but Spiritual Qi so dense it almost solidified, mixed with energy fluctuations of various attributes.

Crimson flames, azure frost, golden thunder, cyan wind blades...

A hundred different energies bloomed simultaneously at this moment!

"Roar~"

The Suicide Squad captain threw his head back and roared.

From the blind box he crushed, a violent surge of fire-attribute energy gushed out.

That energy surged through his arm into his body, instantly igniting the blood and Qi throughout his entire being.

His cultivation, which was originally only at the third-star Martial Master level, skyrocketed at this moment!

Fourth-star, fifth-star, sixth-star Martial Master...

It didn't stop until it reached Martial Master Peak!

Even more terrifying, a combat saber burning with fierce flames appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The blade was 1.2 meters long, entirely crimson, with lava-like patterns flowing along the edge.

A-rank combat weapon, Flame demon slaying saber!
